Chenyue spent two or three days inspecting the garrison and city defense of Luoyun City. There were no problems. With Xinji personally in charge, Chenyue felt relieved.

After last year's war, the tens of thousands of infantrymen in Luoyun City have all become veterans, and their combat effectiveness has improved by no means. This year, thousands of new soldiers have been added one after another, and they are training together with the veterans.

The walls of Luoyun City are wide and thick, and tens of thousands of infantry stationed within them can prevent the Yan army from advancing even an inch.

At nightfall, Chen Yue, Xin Ji, Yue Zhanpeng and others gathered in the conference hall to discuss some matters.

"The 30,000-strong Liao Army suffered a lot in the battle last year. Have all the troops been replenished?" Chenyue turned to look at Yue Zhanpeng and asked.

As the largest mobile cavalry army in Liaodong, the Suppressing Liao Army's combat power affects the entire army, while the Ben Lei Cavalry is more of a trump card and will not be used easily.

"It has been gradually replenished, and they are all drawn from various cities within the territory. The royal envoys have trained a lot of cavalry in the territory, and their combat power is available." Yue Zhanpeng said solemnly.

"That's good." Chenyue lay down gently on the back of his chair and said softly: "There is no need for all the 30,000 Liao-suppressing troops to be stationed in Luoyun City. We can withdraw some of them back to the interior first to let the soldiers rest."

Xin Ji replied: "We have also considered this. All 30,000 cavalry are stationed on the front line, which is a bit difficult for material supply. Next month, 20,000 cavalry will be withdrawn first, and 10,000 cavalry will be left on the front line, which is enough."

"Where is the Modao Army? In my opinion, we can withdraw first." Chenyue looked at the coach of the Modao Army, Li Siye again.

"Haha, the prince really thinks the same as us." Li Siye smiled and said: "Mo Dao Army has withdrawn three thousand people, and the rest will be withdrawn one after another."

"Anthracene~"

Chen Yue rubbed his brows and said, "Is there anything else? If not, let's go back and rest."

Xin Ji and Yue Zhanpeng looked at each other and said softly: "There is something wrong."

Chenyue suddenly remembered that Xin Ji had failed in front of him a while ago, and asked curiously: "What on earth is going on?"

Xin Ji said in a deep voice: "After the Yan army withdrew last year, we sent crossbowmen out to explore. Their main cavalry had retreated to a position two hundred miles away from the Yishui River. It was obvious that they were defending according to the danger and did not want to

Confront us head on.

But just over a month ago, there was a secret Yan Army camp sixty miles north of Yishui."

"There is an extra military camp?" Chen Yue narrowed his eyes: "Where is it?"

"Here." Xin Ji pointed at the map: "Tagua Canyon."

Tagua Canyon is located in Dongting, about sixty miles away from the Yishui River. It is said to be a canyon, but in fact only one side is a cliff, and the other side is a hilly area. The people of Beijin gave it this name casually.

[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]

Chen Yue glanced at the map and said softly: "This camp is very close to the front line. How many people in the camp know about it?"

The war is over, why did the Yan people go out to camp? Is it possible that there are other movements? But the location of Tagua Canyon is not directly north of Luoyun City, but far to the west.

If you really want to start another war, this camping location is obviously unreasonable.

Somewhat weird.

Xin Ji shook his head: "The crossbowmen have visited several times, but they can't count the specific number of people. They only know that there are a lot of grain and grass supplies in the camp, and carriages come in and out every day. It is more like a military camp with supplies.

"

"The baggage camp?" Chen Yue frowned. The baggage camp is usually placed at the rear of the army. Why did the Yan people's baggage camp come to the front now?

"Is there any useful information coming from Hemu Dawu?" Chenyue asked.

After capturing Yan Bi's general, He Mu Dawu became a thorn in the side of the Liang army in the East Courtyard, passing information back and forth from time to time.

Yelu Baoji bowed and said, "We wrote to ask, but He Mu Dawu didn't know about it either. He said that Zhou Weiran ordered the construction himself and did not notify Wanyan Bi."

Several people gave a wry smile. Although Zhou Weiran and Wanyan Bi were on the same side, they each had their own agendas. How could they discuss everything?

"It's really weird." Chen Yue muttered.

Xin Ji reminded from the side: "My lord, do you still remember the Yungu Army's suppression of the bandits? Where do you think their grain and grass were transported from?"

Chenyue's eyes lit up, and he quickly scanned the map, and said in a deep voice: "It must be the case. Tagua Canyon is facing the border area of ​​Yunzhou. We can quietly send people to sneak into Yanyun Land.

It doesn't cost Dongting much money to support some bandits, so they can't support just one.

In order to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass, Zhou Weiran built a heavy supply camp in the front!"

Several generals looked at each other, and this guess was quite possible.

Yue Zhanpeng asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you think we should~"

Yue Zhanpeng stretched out his hand and lightly drew it in the air, making a gesture of wiping his neck.

Xue Leihan frowned and said: "The war has just ended, if we use troops again, will it cause fierce resistance from the Yan people and start a new war?"

"I don't think so~"

Yelu Baoji calmly analyzed: "In this battle, both Yanrong and Dongting lost a lot of elite soldiers, especially Dongting. All the veterans who could fight were lost. Before the new army was formed,

They dare not start a war rashly.

Since they have even come up with the strategy of supporting bandits and disrupting our rear, it just shows that they are at their wits end.

If this military camp is destroyed, the Yan people's plot will come to nothing, and the bandits still lurking in the mountains will naturally be defeated without attacking."

"That makes sense, but the enemy's situation is unclear now. We don't know how many Yan troops are stationed here. It may be dangerous to send troops hastily."

…

Everyone began to talk about it. In fact, a group of people thought that it could be beaten, but how to fight was the problem.

If he falls into the trap set by Zhou Weiran again, the fun will be great.

"Okay, okay~" Xin Ji pressed his hand and said, "Let's listen to what the prince has to say."

Everyone immediately became quiet, and all of them turned their attention to Chen Yue.

"Da da da~"

Chen Yue tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said calmly: "We must beat him, otherwise those bandits will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and it will be very troublesome to clean up."

It's not that the bandits can penetrate Yunjin's defense line or capture Luoyun City, but they will jump out from time to time to harass the grain road, and then burrow into the mountains so that you can't find them. This is the most annoying thing.

Maybe the officers and soldiers will be dragged down and exhausted.

Everyone was convinced that since the prince wanted to fight, they had decided on this battle.

Chenyue reached out and pointed at the location of Tagua Canyon: "Assemble the crossbowmen to explore the terrain and enemy situation of Tagua Canyon. Expand the search area to a radius of thirty miles to ensure that there are no other Yan troops!"
